About

Mansi Patel is a rising researcher at the intersection of robotics and surgical innovation, whose work aims to make technology more intuitive and healthcare more efficient. Her most cited paper, "Gesture Controlled Robot with Robotic Arm" (2022, 5 citations), pioneers a novel method for replacing traditional joysticks and buttons with hand-gesture commands, pushing the boundaries of human-robot interaction for industrial and daily automation. Building on this expertise, Patel addresses critical challenges in medicine with her 2025 work, "Clear Vision, Clear Savings: Enhancing Efficiency in Minimally Invasive Surgery" (4 citations). This study tackles persistent visualization issues in MIS—such as lens fogging, debris, and camera instability—that compromise surgical performance and increase costs. By proposing solutions to enhance clarity and reduce complications, Patel’s research directly impacts patient outcomes and healthcare economics. Her contributions demonstrate a compelling trajectory from gesture-based control to practical surgical tools, showcasing her ability to translate robotic principles into life-saving applications. With a focus on usability and cost-effectiveness, Mansi Patel is a promising voice in the drive toward smarter, safer, and more accessible medical technologies.
